  1. How to stop my file directories from being attached to onedrive?


    I have just uninstalled onedrive and moved all my files from the onedrive desktop/documents all over to the user/me/desktop and documents. When i pressed on restore file location on the desktop folder under the my PC headingthis folder currently takes me to the onedrive counterpart in windows explorer, i get the access denied error. I no longer want my file directories to be associated with onedrive. How can i make it so that when i open windows explorer and press desktop under the MY PC tab, it'll open the desktop folder with directory user/me/dekstop and not /user/onedrive/me/......?

    :)

  2. Windows 10 - OneDrive

    Right click on the app and one of the properties has an option to not automatically start it. Uncheck, restart the computer, and it should stop. If you want to go another step further, find the OneDrive app in the start menu, right click on it and uninstall.

    If that is still insufficient, there is a batch uninstaller for OneDrive available online. I can copy the code here if you need it.

    Silverlight blocking Onedrive files for attachments

    No error,

    I just cannot access Onedrive files for attachments when Silverlight is installed.

    No changes. This is a new computer. I installed Silverlight first time when prompted while attaching a file. As soon as it was installed I was unable to see Onedrive files in the attachment process. I uninstalled Silverlight and the Onedrive files were accessible
    again. Everytime Silverlight reinstalls during an update I have to uninstall to get to my Onedrive files for attachments.

    How to stop my file directories from being attached to onedrive?

    Directory Size Utility

    First of all nice utility, Mindweaver!
    Second of all, it's so nice to see that this section ain't dead.

    I have a few questions/suggestions, maybe you'd want to see ...
    • maybe you rename Get Folder button caption to something more intuitive? Add Folder, Get Folder Size, Check Folder Size or something like that?
    • Could you add subfolder files to the right pane? (it can be a tickbox with include sub dirs)
    • maybe you also add export list to excel?
    • there's delete file button maybe you add delete folder button too?
    • and finally maybe you can add UP button for directories?
